US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau is visiting Kenya as part of an Africa tour to discuss commercial engagement, counter-terrorism, and regional security. This is part of a broader US effort to strengthen economic and security cooperation. Meanwhile, the World Health Organisation (WHO) issued a warning after the United States finalized its withdrawal from the UN health body, stating the decision increases global insecurity and negatively affects countries like Kenya. In a separate development concerning the region, Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Jim Risch, has called for sanctions against Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, over rights abuses following the recent Ugandan general election.
